According to the updated scoring charts circulating after Wednesday's matches, Lionel Messi leads the race with three goals following his hat-trick against Algeria, while Kane joins the chasing pack on two alongside several other high-profile contenders.
The England captain's quick start gives him strong momentum in the Golden Boot battle, especially with many group-stage and knockout matches still to come.
